23.5

Herath to Marsh,
no run,
appeal, big one, but not sure what this is for. This flighted outside off, makes him play away from the body, turns in. Then hits the pad outside the line, but also Dilshan has caught the ball at silly point. Not sure if there is an inside edge. The lbw has been ruled out because he was outside the line. Replays show the bat and the ball both hit the pad, but not each other. Another superb call from Dar

OUT,
Bowled'im! His average falls to 111! A potential nelson has struck. Is this a break in concentration or a natural variation? It's a regulation offbreak from Herath, Marsh defends, but it doesn't turn in as much as he expects it to. The off stumps is left exposed, and pegged back
